The EMI Group is reviewing a request by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to allow reverse engineering of its digital rights management (DRM) software, EMI said on Friday.
Sony BMG Music Entertainment, the world's second largest music label, has become the last of the top four majors to scuttle digital rights management (DRM) software on music downloads.
The EMI Group, one of the world's largest recording companies, has distanced itself from the controversy surrounding digital rights management (DRM) software used by Sony BMG by stating that it does not use rootkits on its own products.
Sony BMG Music Entertainment opened a rather ugly can of worms when it started selling copy-protected compact discs that planted so-called rootkit software on computers that played them.
The digital rights management (DRM) software used by Microsoft to 'protect' music files so they can only be played using Windows Media Player, has once again been broken.
